How true! Being a partisan of the Milwaukee 4-6-4s, I praised the F-7s here.
The drivers of the J-6 locomotives would file complaints of rough riding at speeds of 120 - 130 mph.
J-6 of which company? Is there not a typo? At any rate, what you say sounds like a very interesting tidbit, and if you can find a source, and if another certainly interested party, Chicago area railfan and fellow F-7 partisan SHKarlson doesn't turn up here, I'll email him. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Probably J-6 is wrong, but the speed was correct. I'll see what I can google keep to the Fen Causeway
Does anyone know if it's still possible to get a recording of "Silent Night" by O Winston Link.
Basically the organist of a presbyterian church was requested to play "Silent night" over and over as a steam train of the N&W came up the valley for 10 minutes, stopped at the station and then disappeared off into the night. The recording lasts until the engine can no longer be heard. It last for about 29 minutes I'm told. keep to the Fen Causeway
